select2_from_ajax with entity false doesn't show the stored value

[miquelangeld]

I'm using fields with select2_from_ajax to get options from external DB (with entity attribute = false) and it's working fine, but when I edit an entry this field doesn't show the DB value. The select appear empty, but the value are in DB fot that field. Any idea?

Hey @miquelangeld
It could be placeholder or the default ?

[miquelangeld]

I don't use any of them. This issue is about the same fields that we discussed here

This is the field:
$this->crud->addField([
'label' => "Booking",
'type' => "select2_from_ajax",
'name' => 'booking',
'entity' => false,
'attribute' => "booking",
'model' => "App\Models\CustomerCase",
'data_source' => url('/admin/bookings/ajax-bookings-avalon-options')
]);

Is there a column on database called booking ?

If not you can always create an acessor in your model:

public function getBookingAttribute() {
...
}

Yes, exist.
